After Ankka and Sodeeth came to the edge of a hot air balloon, Ankka suddenly asked, "Why do you think the saint is so reckless all of a sudden?" ”

Sodeyith thought for a while and said, "I think it should be the Holy Maiden, who should be unbearable from all walks of life, and can only attack the Holy Word Golden City at this time. ”

"Pressure?"

"After all, the recovery of the Golden City of the Holy Word was said by the Holy Maiden herself, this belongs to the promise she said to the common people before she came to power, although no ruler will really fulfill those promises, but the Holy Maiden may be because she has not had much experience in becoming a real ruler for the first time, which led to the persecution of the Holy Maiden easily from the bottom up by the old nobles and old forces who have not been completely liquidated."

"Persecution? I don't understand it anymore. ”

"My inference is that the old forces control the propaganda agencies, and there are constant rumors that the Holy Maiden will personally regain the Golden City of the Holy Word, so that people will continue to be excited, so that if the Holy Maiden does not recover the Golden City of the Holy Word, people will be disappointed, and the Holy Maiden may have to start an attack on the Golden City of the Holy Word in order to save the people's hearts and minds towards the new ruling institution."

"What if the saint dies?"

"Then the saint will definitely become a statue to be worshiped forever, and the ruling institution will definitely be reclaimed by the old forces."

"And what if the Holy Maiden wins?"

"Then I guess the Holy Maiden will become the spiritual leader of the entire Santa Seka people from top to bottom, and then the Holy Maiden's majesty and power will reach its peak, so those old forces will definitely not let the Holy Maiden win, but only turn the Holy Maiden into a statue."

Then the paladin came up behind Anka, who was surprised to hear that kind of thing.

"Mr. Anka, do you want to use a hot air balloon here?"

Anka was startled by the sudden appearance of the paladin and said, "I want to learn how to drive it." ”

"What do you think of the Holy Maiden's sudden attack on the Golden City of Sacred Words?"

The other party pondered for a while and said, "We will not interfere in politics, we will only carry out the orders of the Holy Maiden, we don't need to think." ”

"Okay, so have you arranged your temporary accommodation?"

"It's been arranged, and we're currently dismantling the monster's body."

"Then you go and supervise first!"

After the paladin leaves, Anka and Sodeyith enter the cab of the hot air balloon.

Sodeis stood in front of a rudder and said, "You can control the direction through this, the rope next to you and the outside can control up and down, you can control it now!" I'll be watching you from the sidelines. ”

Anka held the rudder and asked, "By the way, since the controllers are all in the shape of a rudder, why don't you make the room under the hot air balloon look like a boat?" Not only can you put more stuff that way, but you can also put away the hot air balloon and sail on the sea. ”

"I've heard that a structure that was that big couldn't fly at first, but maybe a better powertrain might allow it to support a larger structure," Sodeis said. ”

"A better powertrain?"

"Better power with coal or something else might make it faster and better, I'm going to definitely try it later."

"I'm looking forward to it, I hope I'm the first passenger of the new flying machine you make."

"There will be a day."

Suddenly, Sodeith spat out the drink he had drunk and said, "Mr. Anka, rise up!" ”

Ankka looked at it and pulled the rope to balance the hot air balloon, Ankka touched his head and said, "I'm sorry! I patronized and chatted. ”

"It's okay, just pay attention to it, it's very simple."

When Ankka returned to the surface, he found that they had dismantled the monster's corpse and left only a patch of blood, and had managed to restore a rudimentary camp on top of the original Shattered Mountains, with only cooking pots and tents for cooking.

Sodeis asked, "Is Mr. Anka going to sleep with his compatriots?" ”

And the paladin also ran over and said, "Mr. Anka's tent has been set up. ”

Ankha looked at the largest tent with all the facilities inside and shook his head and said, "I'll give this to you!" After all, the number of tents is not enough, so you can't waste it, so go live there! I'll just live with them. ”

Hearing this, the paladins felt a little lost and had to turn away

Ankka and Sodeith came to his tent and listened to Sodeyith's urging.

"Mr. Anka, come in!"

"I have some things, you can rest first!"

After saying that, Anka went out into the field alone and took out coccidiosis to try what to do with it.

Anka thought to herself: "After all, it's a monster that has killed so many people, if you can kill it, kill it!" If you can't put it in the world, it's not a good choice to leave it in the world. ”

(Outside the Golden City of the Sacred Word)

The Holy Maiden stood outside the command center with a worried face, looking at the Golden City of Sacred Words in the distance.

The attendant approached and asked, "Can the Holy Maiden share your concerns with your servants?" ”

"Am I being too reckless?"

"We'll support you in all your decisions."

The saint said with tears in her voice: "Please don't say that, if I'm wrong, please criticize me!" ”

The squire said with a panicked face, "All your decisions are right, and even if something goes wrong, it's your useless servant's fault." ”

The saint lifted the attendant who fell to his knees and said, "I need to hear your heart, and I cannot blind my eyes just because you dare not tell me the truth, please do not commit the crime of deception." ”

"Tell me the scouts who went out into the city are dead, right?"

The attendant nodded in response.

Later, the saint returned to the tent and saw that they were still passing the buck to each other.

"Yesterday's demon raid on our camp was entirely due to the fact that the four groups of reconnaissance did not do a good job."

"If you hadn't urged those craftsmen, we wouldn't have spent all day without building a perfect defense."

"It's completely undesirable to be reckless this time."

"Bastard, are you questioning the Holy Maiden's decision?"

"Everybody......"

When they saw the holy woman come in, everyone shut up and did not dare to continue talking.

The Holy Maiden glanced over and found that these commanders, except for some of the chiefs of the paladins, were all sent by the military aristocratic families with depressed expressions on their faces.

"Please come out with me."

After hearing this, everyone was terrified and came to the tens of thousands of soldiers who were practicing outside with the holy maiden.

Then the saint suddenly fell to her knees on one knee in front of everyone and raised her sword high above her head.

Everyone was instantly shocked by the saint's actions and stopped what they were doing.

After stopping the attendants who had come forward to dissuade her, the Holy Maiden said: "O valiant Santa Secca warriors and those who have been working hard for this war! Please stop what you're doing and listen to me. ”

"If there is anyone who wants to stop the war, you can tell me directly here, and I will give you ten silver to let you go, and the same goes for craftsmen and transport laborers."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, after all, ten silver was not a small amount, and they had no bottom in their hearts when fighting demons, and soon more than a dozen people took the money and left.

Later, when the saint saw those who had not left, she spoke again: "O fellow Santa Seca who has not left! I am very grateful here that you can support my decision, and I hope that you will support the decision that I am about to talk about in a moment. ”

"I have decided to stop the tentative offensive and only keep the scouts for reconnaissance, and we will change to a total defense, we will build a circle of fortresses and high walls outside the Golden City of the Holy Word within a month, and within this month we will move all the new weapons here, and those recruits can also be effectively trained within a month, so that the size of the legion will be larger, and the daily wage of each soldier and laborer will be doubled from this day, and the family members will be compensated by fifty silver for their injuries, and twenty gold for the dead in battle, But those families who receive compensation are required to give priority to sending their male members to serve in the Paladins or the army for at least five years, at the end of which the Church will give them twenty silver and the opportunity to introduce them to work, and this policy will be effective from today. ”

After hearing a series of tempting conditions, the crowd all cheered: "Long live the Holy Maiden!" ”

After that, the holy maiden slowly got up, raised the holy sword, and said: "If there is anyone who enters the Golden City of Sacred Words after the start of the war, he will receive my sword and hereditary title and corresponding domain, and if the prefect with the title is the first to enter, then he will receive a higher rank and work as a court court judge inside the tower." ”

Many of the civilian-born soldiers were all more excited when they heard this, and the look of fear of the demon in their eyes was gone, and the officers who had joined the army for the glory of the family all quickly talked to each other, and their joy was overflowing, believing that the rewards of the saint were so rich, that even if they received only one of them, they could make the whole family prosperous for generations.

In a cheer, the Holy Maiden turned to the representative of the Holy Maiden's Wrath whom she trusted, and said, "Please go to a nearby city to maintain order so that supplies can enter safely." ”

The aristocratic commanders said, "Will this increase the labor of the people, Your Majesty?" ”

The Holy Maiden pointed to the Wrath of the Holy Maiden and said: "I hope you can carry out my mission, let those nobles and nobles take out the money and food, if they don't agree, you can bring those soldiers from civilian backgrounds to borrow from them, don't break out into bloody conflicts at will, if those nobles have complaints, bring them to me, after all, I don't want my promise to become a lie." ”

Hearing this, the other party knelt down abruptly and said, "Swear to complete the task." ”

Then the saint said: "Go back, delegates!" ”

After the group returned, the Holy Maiden issued a new order to the representative of the Holy Maiden's Wrath: "Please send some paladins to spy on the commanders of noble origin, and tell the middle and lower prefects that if they disobey the order, they will be brought before me, even if they are my own superiors." ”

Then the saint said, "I am sleepy, go and carry out the order!" If you feel tired, you can take a break. ”

With that, the Holy Maiden also gave her cloak to the representative of the Holy Maiden's Wrath.

When no one was around, the saint lay down in her room and stroked Alanhi, who was in her arms, looked at the painting on the wall about the Doomsday War and said, "Mr. Anka, please come to my side and help me!" I'm so stressed, maybe it's just you and can communicate with me without barriers and help me come up with solutions. ”

After a moment of silence, the saint lowered her head and said, "I'm really bad, as a saint, I've always wanted to share the pressure with others, if only I had Mr. Anka's strength and the confidence to handle anything." ”
